Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Electrically Maintaining and Reproducing Recurring Movements, particularly applicable to Clock Movements and Time Transmission.
Filed: 1905-03-29
Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 6690. Lowne, R. M., and Lowne Electric Clock and Appliances Co. March 29. Electric clocks.-Adopting, as regards primary clocks, the construction and arrangement shown in Specification No. 25,374, A.D. 1901, the crutch a of a pendulum, Fig. 1, having an arm a<3> with a loaded pawl a', drives a ratchet-wheel a' and receives impulses from a lever a<12> with link a<21>, which is attracted by an electro-magnet a<11> and re-set by a spring a<13>, a detent a<16> being intermediately applied and removed. The circuit is complete when an arm a<7> on the ratchet-wheel presses together the tangential contacts a9, a<10> on the crutch, and it is broken just before the armature touches the poles by the separation of two contacts a<14>, a<15>, but the attracted armature is detained till the detent a<16> is disengaged by a finger a<17> on the crutch. Secondary clocks or indicators f<2>, Fig. 6, receive currents through two complementary transmitters, one of which is operated by the current to close an alternate circuit therefor. As shown, one of the transmitters consists of a pair of segmental spur-wheels c<12>, c<13> arranged to gear with an intermediate wheel c<14>, which carries an arm c<15> between two contacts c<6>, c<10>; the other transmitter comprises a ratchet-wheel c<3> under contacts c<6>, e<10>. With the parts in the position shown, the current is interrupted at the contacts c<10>, but with the next operation of the master-clock, the finger c<15> is swung into circuit and then the other transmitter interrupts the circuit at the contacts c<6>. Both transmitters may be of the ratchet type, and if one is driven by a switch the other may turn the hands of a turret clock, the watch or clock mainspring being also kept wound. In such a circuit, each electro-magnet d' is provided with a short-circuiting proportioned resistance d<5>, to increase the current for the more sluggish of the magnets. The period of movement of a lever armature may be governed as shown in Fig. 5, the disk e<4>, oscillating with the armature e<2> to the limits allowed by the stop e", being loaded by a heavy disk e'‹ pressed thereon with more or less friction by a spring e<8>. With this governing-contrivance is comprised a check roller e<12> to retain the armature lightly in extremes.

Abstract: 18,133. Burrill, W. Sept. 7. Signals, lamp and flash.-Relates to flash signalling by the Morse code, and has for its object to ensure an accurate time proportion for the equivalents of the dots and dashes. Two shutters A, B are pivoted at C and provided with pins F, F<1> by means of which they are actuated by an arm D against the tension of a spring J, which acts at the end of a crank K and tends to close the shutters. The arm D is itself actuated by either of two spring-controlled levers P, V, being provided with a pin I for the purpose. The lever P is connected by a link O to the piston of an air damping-cylinder L having an adjustable screw valve N. Stops W are provided on the levers P, V, and are such that when the lever V is depressed these stops engage after a while and the lever P becomes itself depressed in part, while the lever P can be fully depressed without affecting the lever V. When either of the levers P, V is depressed, the arm D is operated and becomes engaged by a catch R on a pivoted trigger T ; the trigger T is released by a cam V on the lever P when this lever is back to its normal position. The duration of the flash thus depends on the time the lever P takes to move back, and will therofore be long or short according as the lever P or the lever V was depressed by the finger. The shutters are kept close against one another by a spring 16, and the arm D is guided by a guide 17.
